AS MEDICAL interest in cannabis increases, Fritsch says that the extraction of compounds of interest is often inefficient but that the process can be improved using its cutting mills. It recommends the Pulverisette 19 to finely mill cannabis plant material…
THE Peltier-driven EchoTherm IC50 chilling/heating dry bath from Torrey Pines Scientific promises tight control of sample temperature, to within 0.1C over a range from-10 to +110C. The unit’s temperature probe is inserted directly into the sample or sample block, sensing…
Environmental laboratory productivity can be ‘significantly improved’ using the Rocket Synergy evaporator, says Genevac. Developed to quickly process large-volume environmental samples, in parallel and without supervision, Rocket Synergy can concentrate or dry 18 ASE tubes or up to six large-volume…
HEROLAB says it is well known for making centrifuges, but less well known for wide range of centrifuge tubes and bottles. The company says its Centrifuge Labware guide gives extensive information on product selection information, and contains valuable information for…
IMPROVED sample preparation is promised by the new PBI Shredder SG3 from Cole-Parmer, a closed system device said to be ideal for molecular and cellular biological analysis. Intended for the extraction of DNA, RNA, protein, mitochondria, and small molecules, the…
NEXT-generation sequencing (NGS) is set of relatively new technologies that are having a big impact on scientific research in fields including biomarkers, diagnostics, and drug discovery. Although the term is applied to a number of different systems, not all of…
ACCELERATED solvent extraction (ASE) is a well-known method to greatly speed up the concentration of semi-solid and solid samples by employing elevated temperatures and pressures to remove solvents more quickly than would otherwise be possible. Genevac has now launched a…
MARKING a new distribution arrangement with diamond knife manufacturer Diatome, Agar Scientific is offering a range of deals on ultra-sharp diamond knives. As well as what it promises are attractive prices on new knives, Agar will take trade-in diamond knives…
DESCRIBED as a ‘game-changing’ development in laboratory automation, Agilent’s new Encore Multispan liquid handling system combines multispan pipetting with a robotic arm to deliver what the company promises will be a new level of productivity and throughput. The system should…
GENEVAC outlines the significant operational benefits that can be found when its miVac sample concentrator is used instead of a ‘blowdown’ evaporation system. Blowdown evaporators remove solvent (as their name suggests) by blowing inert gas into open sample vessels. They…
